9F116-01 Module Specific
Information

Introduction

This appendix contains local management information that is specific to the 9F116-01
Dual Port FDDI Bridge/Router Module.

Default Interface Codes

The Default Interface field on the General Configuration Screen allows you to enter a
number (one through four). Each number represents a default interface for the
module. The table below lists the numbers you can enter, each number’s
corresponding interface, and a brief description of that interface.
The default for this field is NONE, meaning no default interface selected.

FNB Resource Configuration Codes

The 9F116-01 Dual Port FDDI Bridge/Router Module provides connectivity between
three interfaces: the two front panel interfaces and one of the FDDI rings on the
backplane (FNB-1 or FNB-2).

The FNB Resource Configuration Screen allows you to connect the module’s front
panel interfaces to one of the chassis’ two FDDI networks (FNB-1 or FNB-2) via a
bridge/router.

The FNB Resource Configuration Screen lists all the possible connections that the
module can support on the FNB, displays the current connection, and allows you to
change the connection. Table 2 lists and describes the FDDI Connections from which
you can select.

FDDI Connections Description

1 No FDDI Connections The FNB-1 and the FNB-2 on the

chassis’ backplane are not
connected to the module’s
bridge/router.

2 FNB-1 The FNB-1 on the backplane is

connected to the module’s
bridge/router.

3 FNB-2 The FNB-2 on the backplane is

connected to the module’s
bridge/router.

4 FNB-2, FNB-1 The FNB-2 and the FNB-1 on the

backplane are connected to the
module’s bridge/router.

5 Front Panel The module’s front panel FDDI is

connected to the module’s
bridge/router.

6 FNB-1, Front Panel The FNB-1 on the backplane and

the module’s front panel FDDI
are connected to the module’s
bridge/router.

7 FNB-2, Front Panel The FNB-2 on the backplane and

the module’s front panel FDDI
are connected to the module’s
bridge/router.
